Referee and Judging course 13/9/08

Saturday 13th September saw our first refereeing and judging course held at Marston Green Parish Hall, alongside one of our regular tournament training sessions. While Master Laura Drayton,

Mr Alastair Banks and Mr Danny Lee took the squad through their paces, I took a group of students and some parents through the requirements of managing tournaments. It was great to see parents on board – this is a good way for them to become more involved in the art, whether they train or not. Many sit at the classes, watching their children – or husbands and wives – train, but don’t want to train themselves. This is another way in which they can be involved –and their help and support is invaluable.

Glue and paint goes a long way…!

On Wednesday 27th August, a brave group of volunteers held an arts and crafts day for the kids of Bedworth, Coventry, Rugby and Nuneaton area clubs. We let them design and decorate their own t-shirt,design and decorate their own bongs, design and decorate their own ‘ninjabread’ men and cakes and design and decorate their own beaded bracelets and necklaces.
